The city’s much-hyped personnel computer system — already burdened by delays and mammoth budget overruns — is expected to cost 10 percent more than the most recent City Hall estimate.

NYCAPS, the New York City Automated Personnel System, was originally budgeted at $66 million.

But that was 10 years and hundreds of millions of dollars ago — long before The Post first disclosed the system had overspent its budget by roughly 400 percent.

Now the city Independent Budget Office says the cost of NYCAPS is $377.2 million, up from $343 million.

“Another CityTime” is how Councilwoman Letitia James (D-Brooklyn) described the benefits-tracking system, comparing it to the fraud-ridden $700 million automated-payroll project that has become the biggest scandal of Mayor Bloomberg’s tenure.

“Same problem, same lack of oversight, same lack of transparency, and we, the taxpayers, pay the price again and again,” she said.

NYCAPS is supposed to replace paper records for benefits and human-resource functions for more than 330,000 city workers.

Bloomberg spokesman Kamran Mumtaz said the real cost of NYCAPS is $363 million, with $14million set aside as a cushion.

He insisted the network was expanded beyond its original blueprint.

It’s “a fully functional system used successfully every day by thousands of city employees, and the system has increased the efficiency and cost effectiveness of our human-resources operations,” he said.
